Sunday Afternoon Sept. 12, 1943
Dear Iz and Silvia,
Lousy out today, but it’s still Sunday so who gives a damn. The other day the straw we now use as mattresses arrived. It isn’t bad enough that they work us like horses - now we sleep like them. Did you here the record I sent Mush yet? It certainly is a monstros- ity. The next week, I hope, I’m going to see if I can make one for mother. Next weeks General Willis is leaving Camp Grant and the whole camp is going to parade for him. We had a practice yesterday afternoon and I can safely say that I’ve never seen anything quite so spectacular - the 6th, 7th and 8th regiments which, of course, together form a division was on the drill field at the same time marching in company forma- tion. You’ve never seen anything until you’ve seen an entire division of uniforms marching at one time. And although marching isn’t exactly the best way to spend an afternoon this parade did wonders for moral. - really a thrilling sight. About all for now, so I’ll say so long for me and all the German Prisoners. Herman P.S. they’re all over the place. P.S.S Went to our outfits party last night - took a W.A.C.* Go(w)d!!!
